A low scarp, only about 0.4 metres high, curves in a rough D-shape across a slight rise in otherwise flat ground. That modest earthwork is all that remains of what was once a circular embanked enclosure roughly 55 metres in external diameter, the kind of feature that in an earlier landscape would have read clearly as a defined, bounded space, its bank marking an edge between inside and outside.

The enclosure was already compromised by the time anyone thought to record it formally. The 1839 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map shows the full circular form, but also shows the problem: a road running northeast to southwest cuts straight through it. That road bisected the monument and, over time, reduced what the map had captured to the truncated remnant visible today. The surviving arc, measuring approximately 35 metres along its northeast to southwest axis and 11 metres across, sits on the southeast side of the road, the rest either destroyed or absorbed into the surrounding ground. Enclosures of this type are reasonably common across Ireland and are variously interpreted as settlement sites, ritual spaces, or enclosures associated with early agriculture, though without excavation it is difficult to say what purpose this particular example served or when it was built.

The slight rise on which the enclosure sits is easy to miss in a landscape that offers little dramatic variation in elevation, but it would have been a meaningful distinction in a low-lying area prone to wet ground. The scarp itself is subtle enough that knowing what you are looking for matters considerably before visiting.
